To adjust blade parallel to miter slot, do these steps:
1. DISCONNECT MACHINE FROM POWER!
2. Tilt blade to 0°, raise blade all the way, then
remove blade guard and anti-kickback pawls.
3. Use combination square to measure distance from
miter slot to a carbide tip on blade, as shown in
Figure 64. Make sure face of square is even along
miter slot.
4. With end of square just touching blade tip, lock
square in place. Now, mark carbide tip with a mark-
er where you made this measurement.
Your table saw will give the best results if the miter slot
is adjusted parallel to the blade. If the miter slot is not
exactly parallel, your cuts and your finished work will be
lower in quality, but more importantly, the risk of kickback
will be increased.

8. Adjust eccentric shown in Figure 66 to adjust blade
angle in relation to miter slot.
Turn eccentric clockwise to adjust rear of blade
and spreader/riving knife toward motor.
Turn eccentric counterclockwise to adjust rear of
blade and spreader/riving knife away from motor.
9. Repeat Steps 3-8 until blade and miter slot are par-
allel.
10. Install table insert, blade guard, and pawls.

5. Rotate marked blade tip to other end of table insert.
6. Slide square down to other end of table insert and
compare distance from marked blade tip to end of
square, as shown in Figure 65.
If blade tip measurement is equal on both sides,
blade is parallel to miter slot.
If blade tip does not touch end of square similar to
first measurement, blade parallelism eccentric will
need to be adjusted. Proceed to Step 7.

Standard Machinery Safety Instructions
For Your Own Safety,
Read Manual Before Operating Machine
The purpose of safety symbols is to attract your attention to possible hazardous conditions. This
manual uses a series of symbols and signal words intended to convey the level of importance of the
safety messages. The progression of symbols is described below. Remember that safety messages by
themselves do not eliminate danger and are not a substitute for proper accident prevention mea-
sures—this responsibility is ultimately up to the operator!
SAFETY
Standard Machinery Safety Instructions
-10-
Model W1875 (For Machines Mfd. Since 1/20)
SAFETY
WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel, or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back
or cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to
avoid accidental slips, which could cause loss
of workpiece control.
HAZARDOUS
DUST. Dust created while using
machinery may cause cancer, birth defects,
or long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of
dust hazards associated with each workpiece
material, and always wear a NIOSH-approved
respirator to reduce your risk.
HEARING PROTECTION.
Always wear hearing
protection when operating or observing
loud machinery. Extended exposure to this
noise without hearing protection can cause
permanent hearing loss.
REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS.
Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys,
wrenches, or any other tools on machine.
Always verify removal before starting!
INTENDED USAGE.
Only use machine for its
intended purpose—never make modifications
without prior approval from Woodstock
International. Modifying machine or using
it differently than intended will void the
warranty and may result in malfunction or
mechanical failure that leads to serious
personal injury or death!
AWKWARD POSITIONS.
Keep proper footing and
balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand
positions that make workpiece control difficult
or increase the risk of accidental injury.
CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS.
Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work
area. Stop using machine if they become a
distraction.
GUARDS & COVERS.
Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris—make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly.
FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine. It
will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.
NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury may
occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.
STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement during
operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine
is stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.
USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for
recommended accessories. Using improper
accessories will increase risk of serious injury.
UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the risk
of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop
before walking away. Never leave machine
running while unattended.
MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to
keep machine in good working condition. A
machine that is improperly maintained could
malfunction, leading to serious personal injury
or death.
CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect
machine for any condition that may affect
safe operation. Immediately repair or replace
damaged or mis-adjusted parts before
operating machine.
MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnecting
cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the
cord may damage the wires inside, resulting
in a short. Do not handle cord/plug with wet
hands. Avoid cord damage by keeping it away
from heated surfaces, high traffic areas, harsh
chemicals, and wet/damp locations.
EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the
intended operation, stop using the machine!

SAFETY
Additional Safety for Table Saws
Serious cuts, amputation, or death can occur from contact with rotating saw blade during opera-
tion. Workpieces, broken blades, or flying particles thrown by blade can blind or strike operators or
bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST
completely heed the hazards and warnings below.
PUSH STICKS/PUSH BLOCKS. To reduce risk of
accidental blade contact, use push sticks/push
blocks whenever possible. In event of an acci-
dent, these will often take damage that would
have occurred to hands/fingers.
FENCE. To reduce risk of kickback, make sure
fence remains properly adjusted and parallel
with blade. Always lock fence before using. Do
not use fence while using miter gauge. Make
sure fence is not touching the blade when the
saw is started.
CUT-OFF PIECES. To avoid risk of injury due to
blade contact, turn saw OFF and allow blade to
completely stop before removing cut-off pieces
near blade or trapped between blade and table
insert. Never use your hands to move cut-off
pieces away from blade while saw is running.
BLADE ADJUSTMENTS. Adjusting blade height or
tilt during operation increases risk of crashing
blade and sending metal fragments flying with
deadly force at operator or bystanders. Only
adjust blade height and tilt when blade is com-
pletely stopped and saw is O F F.
Make sure blade
is not touching the guard, riving knife, or work-
piece before the saw is started.
CHANGING BLADES. Accidental startup while
changing saw blade can result in serious injury.
To reduce risk of accidental blade contact,
always disconnect power before changing
blades.
DAMAGED SAW BLADES.
Damaged saw blade teeth
can become deadly projectiles.
Never use blades
that have been dropped or damaged.
CUTTING CORRECT MATERIAL. Cutting metal,
glass, stone, tile, etc., increases
risk of operator
injury due to kickback or flying particles. Only
cut natural and man-made wood products, lami-
natecovered wood products, and some plastics.
Never cut materials not intended for this saw.
HAND & BODY POSITIONING
. Keep hands away
from saw blade and out of blade path during
operation, so they cannot accidentally slip into
blade. Only operate at front of machine and
always stand to side of blade path. Never reach
behind or over blade, or under blade guard
when blade is spinning.
BLADE GUARD.
The blade guard protects operator
from rotating saw blade. Make sure blade guard
is installed, adjusted correctly, and used for
all possible “through cuts.” Promptly repair or
replace if damaged. Re-install immediately after
operations that require its removal.
RIVING KNIFE.
Use riving knife for all “non-
through cuts.” Make sure it is aligned and posi-
tioned correctly. Promptly repair or replace it if
damaged.
KICKBACK.
Kickback occurs when saw blade ejects
workpiece back toward operator. Know how to
reduce risk of kickback, and learn how to pro-
tect yourself if it does occur.
FEEDING WORKPIECE
. Feeding workpiece incor-
rectly increases risk of kickback. Always allow
blade to reach full speed before cutting, feed
workpiece from front of saw, making sure work-
piece is flat against table and a fence, miter
gauge, or other guide is used to feed workpiece
in a straight line. Feed cuts through to comple-
tion. Never start saw with workpiece touching
blade or pull workpiece from behind blade.
Never back workpiece out of cut, move it side-
ways, or perform a “freehand” operation. Never
plunge cut.
D
ADO AND RABBET OPERATIONS. Dado and rab-
beting operations require special attention
since they must be performed with blade guard
removed, which increases risk of blade contact.
DO NOT attempt dado or rabbeting operations
without first reading these sections in this man-
ual.

SAFETY
Preventing Kickback Never move the workpiece backwards or
try to back it out of a cut while the blade
is moving. If you cannot complete a cut for
some reason, stop the saw motor and allow
the blade to completely stop before backing
the workpiece out. Promptly fix the condition
that prevented you from completing the cut
before starting the saw again.
Protecting Yourself
From Kickback
Even if you know how to prevent kickback, it
may still happen. Here are some ways to protect
yourself if kickback DOES occur:
Stand to the side of the blade during every
cut. If kickback does occur, the thrown
workpiece usually travels directly in front of
the blade.
Wear safety glasses or a face shield. In the
event of kickback, your eyes and face are the
most vulnerable parts of your body.
Never, for any reason, place your hand behind
the blade. Should kickback occur, your hand
will be pulled into the blade, which could
cause amputation.
Use a push stick to keep your hands farther
away from the moving blade. If kickback
occurs, the push stick will most likely take
the damage your hand would have received.
Use featherboards or anti-kickback devices to
assist with feeding and prevent or slow down
kickback.
Statistics show that most common accidents
among table saw users can be linked to
kickback. Kickback is typically defined as the
high-speed expulsion of stock from the table
saw toward its operator. In addition to the
danger of the operator or others in the area
being struck by the flying stock, it is often the
case that the operators hands are pulled into
the blade during kickback.
Below are ways to avoid the most common
causes of kickback:
Only cut workpieces with at least one smooth
and straight edge. DO NOT cut warped,
cupped or twisted wood.
Keep the blade guard installed and working
correctly for all through cuts.
Never attempt freehand cuts. If the
workpiece is not fed parallel with the blade,
kickback will likely occur. Always use the rip
fence or miter gauge to guide the workpiece.
Make sure the spreader or riving knife is
aligned with the blade and secured tightly. A
misaligned spreader or riving knife can cause
the workpiece to catch or bind, increasing
the chance of kickback.
Take the time to check and adjust the rip
fence parallel with the blade; otherwise, the
chances of kickback are extreme.
The spreader or riving knife maintains the
kerf in the workpiece, reducing the chance of
kickback. Always use the riving knife for all
non-through operations, unless a dado blade
is installed. Always use the spreader with the
blade guard for all through cuts.
Feed cuts through to completion. Anytime
you stop feeding a workpiece in the middle
of a cut, the chance of kickback is greatly
increased.
Keep the blade guard installed and in good
working order. Only remove it when performing
non-through cuts and immediately re-install
the blade guard when finished. Remember,
always use the riving knife for all non-through
operations, unless a dado blade is installed.
Make multiple, shallow passes when perform-
ing a non-through cut. Making a deep non-
through cut will greatly increase the chance of
kickback.

ELECTRICAL
Circuit Requirements
This machine must be connected to the correct size and
type of power supply circuit, or fire or electrical damage
may occur. Read through this section to determine if an
adequate power supply circuit is available. If a correct
circuit is not available, a qualified electrician MUST install
one before you can connect the machine to power.
A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment
between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building
and the machine. The power supply circuit used for
this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-
load current drawn from the machine for an extended
period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
Circuit Requirements for 120V
This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply
circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following
requirements:
Circuit Type ............... 110V/120V, 60 Hz, Single-Phase
Circuit Size ............................................. 20 Amps
Plug/Receptacle .................................... NEMA 1-15
Full-Load Current Rating
The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine
draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines
with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the
largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices
that might operate at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Current Rating at 120V .................. 15 Amps
The machine must be properly set up
before it is safe to operate. DO NOT
connect this machine to the power
source until instructed to do so later
in this manual.
Incorrectly wiring or grounding this
machine can cause electrocution, fire,
or machine damage. To reduce this risk,
only an electrician or qualified service
personnel should do any required
electrical work on this machine.
NOTICE
The circuit requirements listed in this
manual apply to a dedicated circuit
where only one machine will be running
at a time. If this machine will be
connected to a shared circuit where
multiple machines will be running at the
same time, consult with an electrician
to ensure that the circuit is properly
sized for safe operation.

ELECTRICAL
Extension Cords
When using extension cords, make sure the cords are
rated for outdoor use. Outdoor use cords are marked with
a “W-A” or a “W” to signify their rating. Always check to
make sure that the extension cords are in good working
order and free of any type of damage, such as exposed
wires, cuts, creased bends, or missing prongs.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which may damage
electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage
drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer
and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers
indicate smaller sizes. When using extension cords, always
choose the shortest cord possible, with the greatest-sized
gauge.
Below is a list of minimum gauge sizes needed for
running this tool at different lengths:
Minimum Gauge Size at 120V ...................... 12 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ................50 ft.
Polarized Plug
5-15 Receptacle
1-15 Plug
Neutral
Hot
Figure 4. NEMA 1-15 plug & receptacle.
This tool is double-insulated and therefore does not have
a grounding wire or plug. The two-pronged, NEMA 1-15
plug has a polarized end; this means that one prong
(the neutral connector) is wider than the other (the
hot connector). Polarized plugs must be used only with
polarized receptacles. Do not attempt to plug this tool
into a non-polarized receptacle. If a polarized receptacle
is not available, a qualified electrical technician will have
to install one before the saw can be plugged in.
